Three very nice ones (one that I've been holding back for a loooooong time (whoops) so I'm very happy that they all read beautifully and were well-received.
You are a Lion and other fun Yoga poses
Taeeun Yoo
ISBN: 9780399256028
Really cute and non-jargony intro to the concept of yoga through some basic poses. I'd heard of downward dog and cat pose, and of Mountain, but I had never heard of lions or snakes or frogs before. Regardless, the kids enjoyed posing, and everyone had fun guessing which animal the poses would end up being.
Quick as a Cricket
Audrey Wood, illustrated by Don Wood
ISBN: 0859531511
Classic read, perfect here. One kid was so taken with the idea that he repeated every line back out-loud, word-and-intonation perfect. It was a little weird, but kindof fun at the same time. I always like it when a book seems to resonate well with an individual kid - those are the memories that happy readers and library-users are built on.
Lion Lessons
Jon Agee
ISBN: 9780803739086
A cute kid is taking "Lion Lessons" from an experienced lion in his town. Only seven lessons to get your official lion certificate! But things don't go so smoothly; from roars to sprinting to food choices - the kid isn't doing too well. But when the chips are down, our wanna-be lion roars into action to protect someone small, and proves that he really did learn his lion lessons.
